Despite the increase expected for 2025 in terms of the Airport Use Fee (TUA), Querétaro remains one of the best options by having a lower cost in that concept compared to other places.
And according to the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) as of January 1, the increase in the TUA will present an increase of 2.5 percent on domestic flights and 2.6 percent on international flights.
According to the DOF, this rate will be applied in each of the airports managed by the Grupo Aeroportuario, Ferroviario, de Servicios Auxiliares y Conexos, Olmeca-Maya-Mexica (GAFSACOMM) to people who, as national or international passengers, board a public air transport aircraft on a departing flight or an air taxi and who use the facilities of the terminal building for this purpose.
In the case of Querétaro, the current cost applied from the first day of the year is 383.33 pesos for domestic flights, and 655.78 for international flights. With the increases they will be 392.91 and 672.83 respectively.
The current prices of the TUA at the León airport in Bajío are 487.32 for domestic flights and 823.34 for international flights. With the modification they will be 499.50 and 844.74 respectively as of January 1, 2025.
With respect to the San Luis Potosí airport, the current cost for domestic flights is 654.19 and now it will be 670.54. While for international departures it will now be 976.02 pesos and from next year it will be 1,001.39 pesos.
Regarding the costs of departure by bus, in this case without announcing an increase, the price to leave Querétaro to Mexico City is 495 pesos; from Querétaro to León, it is 405 pesos; and from Querétaro to San Luis Potosí it is 432 pesos.
